Football pet hates

Everyones love affair with Bielsa.

 

Leeds in general. Supposedly everyone’s second favourite team. Fuck off, they’re vile.

 

I don't get stuff like this. I mean fair enough if from previous rivalries you don't like them - I obviously get that part and same goes for any given club - but what's the disdain about people potentially liking a team that goes out to attack the opposition and therefore is very entertaining to watch?

 

It feels like a lot of people take the opposite position to popular rhetoric just to be contrary, as opposed to maybe just accepting they seem to be entertaining, and it's great to have such an innovative, different manager in the league?

 

It doesn't automatically mean you have to love everything about them, or even like them at all - but it's hardly unreasonable why some may take a liking.

The vast majority of people that like the Leeds football team, probably have never been to Leeds. But somebody had a bad Friday at trinity so the world should hate them.

While we’re on about Leeds. They have some of the shitest songs going. Marching on together is terrible and “all Leeds are we”. Really grates on me.

'Joy' as in 'they're getting a lot of joy down that left side'

 

I fucking hate it, and not only when Chris Waddle says it

When referees try and play an advantage, but there isn’t one. Then they don’t pull it back because it’s perceived that too much time has gone since the foul, even though there wasn’t an advantage to begin with.

Playing advantage these days just seems to be a reflection that the same team has the ball, even if they’re 40 yards from goal and have no team mates in sight.

There’s no real advantage at times and a free kick would probably be more useful.

The death of the long sleeve shirt

Aye. I’d probably near kill someone to still have my 95-97 LS (H) with Asprilla on the back.

Shit, I hadn't even noticed - but now that I think of it... Do they still sell them?

I think some teams/clubs do but not all, nowhere near as common on players either.

Bought this absolute bobby dazzla from NUFC Memorabilia the other month. Had it in short sleeves with Asprilla on as a bairn.

That’s exactly what I had. Weirdly the first person I think of when I see that top is Andreas Anderson.

The game at Anfield where we lost 4-2 after being 2-0 up, I distinctly remember Anderson wearing that with long sleeves and a white turtle neck. A few of our players had white Addidas turtle neck things on for that match, Haman definitely had one on too.

Yup it’s that game specifically I picture it in too. He scored IIRC. Must’ve been on tele.

It’s the Old Trafford 1-1 I think of where he scored and that twat OGS hacked Lee down.

Aye he did, through on goal, put us 2-0 up in the second half in front the away end. My first trip to Anfield.

Managed to score at Anfield, Old Trafford, played in a Wembley final. Did alright out of us on the anecdote front.
